简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of modified pilates exercises on neck pain, deep neck flexor muscles edurance, joint position sense and functionality in patients with chronic neck pain.
详细描述
50 individuals with Chronic Neck Pain not working will be included to our study. We will evaluate pain (with visual analog scale), deep neck flexors' endurance (with cranio-cervical flexure test using the pressure stabilizing feedback device), cervical range of motion and cervical proprioception (wit cervical range of motion device). Besides we will conduct a questionnaire (neck disability index) to get further knowledge about their functionality. Participants will be randomly allocated 2 groups consisting of 25 participants and these 2 groups will receive different interventions. Modified Pilates Exercise Group (MPEG) will be involved in a modified pilates exercise training for a total of 6 weeks a day, 2 days a week in the presence of a physiotherapist. The Control Group (KG) will receive daily routine advises to prevent neck pain and they will be asked about to apply these advises and not to make other changes in their life. The evaluations will be repeated and analyzed 2 times, pre-treatment and 6 weeks after treatment , and the effectiveness of the modified pilates exercises will be examined in the chronic neck pain. Our hypothesis is ''Modified pilates exercises have a positive effect on neck pain, range of motion, deep neck flexor muscles, joint position sense and function in patients with chronic neck pain.''

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Evaluation
时间窗: 6 weeks
This test will be measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score. VAS has 10-centimeter line corresponding to the amount of pain they experienced. "0" means "no pain" and "10" means "pain as bad as possible".
Deep Neck Flexor Endurance
时间窗: 6 weeks
Score of cranio-cervical flexion test will be measured by Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback Unit.
Neck Position Sense
时间窗: 6 weeks
Joint position error of 6-direction (flexion, extension, right-left lateral flexion and right-left rotation) will be measured by cervical range of motion device (CROM device).
Neck Disability Index
时间窗: 6 weeks
Neck disability index is a survey that has 10 different sections including Pain intensity, personal care, weight lifting, reading, headache, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and resting activitie.
Posture Evaluation
时间窗: 6 weeks
Sagital plan photographs of the people will be taken and head and shoulder posture will be evaluated.
Neck Range Of Motion
时间窗: 6 weeks
Range of motion will be measured by cervical range of motion device (CROM device)
